Salary Range: CA$48.00 To CA$52.00 Hourly

About Us We are a well-established plastic card manufacturer producing secure cards for financial, commercial, and government applications. Our products demand precision at every stage — from lamination and printing to chip embedding — and our production teams take pride in keeping things running reliably. We’re looking for a hands‑on Maintenance Supervisor to lead and strengthen our maintenance function on-site.

Position Overview This is a working lead role — ideal for a senior technician who is ready to step into leadership without leaving the shop floor behind. You will perform day‑to‑day maintenance while supervising and mentoring one electromechanical technician. Together, you will keep our production equipment running at peak performance, drive a culture of preventive maintenance, and own the general upkeep of our facility.

Reports to: Plant / Operations Manager

Key Responsibilities Equipment & Production Support

Troubleshoot and repair mechanical and electrical issues on production equipment, including collators, laminators, die cutters, presses, and personalization machines

Assist with equipment installations, upgrades, and root cause analysis for recurring issues

Coordinate with production and other departments to schedule maintenance work with minimal disruption to output

Preventive Maintenance

Lead and execute the preventive maintenance program; ensure PMs are completed on schedule

Maintain accurate work records, parts inventory, and maintenance history within the system

Analyze maintenance data to identify failure trends and recommend improvements

Supervise and mentor one electromechanical technician; prioritize daily tasks and support shift coverage when needed

Provide technical guidance, hands‑on coaching, and performance feedback

Facility & Vendor Management





Oversee routine maintenance and repairs of building systems, including HVAC, lighting, plumbing, and general facility infrastructure

Coordinate with external vendors and contractors for specialized repairs; review and approve quotes to ensure cost‑effective solutions

Health, Safety & Compliance

Maintain a safe working environment and ensure full adherence to health and safety standards, OSHA regulations, and ISO 9001 requirements

Adhere to all company policies and procedures

Qualifications Required

5-8 years of hands‑on maintenance experience in a manufacturing environment

Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills — motors, drives, sensors, PLCs, pneumatics

Experience with CMMS systems and structured preventive maintenance programs

Ability to read mechanical and electrical drawings

Proven organizational skills with the ability to prioritize and lead in a quick‑paced environment

Excellent communication and problem‑solving skills

Preferred

Millwright certification (433A or equivalent)

Diploma or degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field

Experience with AutoCAD or SolidWorks for reading and modifying technical drawings

Background in secure card, printing, or precision manufacturing environments

Day‑to‑Day Examples Here’s a snapshot of what a typical week might look like in this role:

Diagnosing an intermittent drive fault on a laminator mid‑run, coordinating a brief production pause,



and resolving the issue before the next shift

Conducting a scheduled PM on a personalization machine — cleaning, inspecting wear parts, and logging findings in the CMMS

Reviewing a vendor quote for an HVAC repair, approving the scope, and coordinating site access with minimal disruption to the manufacturing floor

Walking the floor with your technician to inspect a recurring sensor issue on the die cutter, identifying the root cause, and documenting a fix to prevent recurrence

Ending the week by updating parts inventory, ordering critical spares, and preparing a brief status summary for the Plant Manager

What Success Looks Like In the first 6–12 months, a successful Maintenance Supervisor will have:

Reduced unplanned downtime by strengthening the PM program and closing gaps in the maintenance schedule

Built a strong working relationship with production, operations, and leadership — seen as a reliable partner, not just a repair resource

Established clear task prioritization and brought structure to the technician’s daily workflow

Zero serious safety incidents, with a proactive approach to hazard identification and safety compliance

Identified at least one meaningful cost‑saving or efficiency improvement through data analysis or process change

What We Offer

Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and vision coverage

Stable, full‑time position in a specialized and growing sector of manufacturing

Direct influence over maintenance strategy in a lean, collaborative team environment

Support for ongoing professional development and certification

Safety‑first culture with strong leadership backing

If you’re a seasoned maintenance professional ready to lead — and still love getting your hands on the equipment — we’d love to hear from you.
